Sown In Weakness, Raised In Power



Then one of the criminals, who were hanged, blasphemed Him, saying, “If YOU are The Christ, save Yourself and us.”  But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do YOU NOT even fear God, seeing YOU, are under the same condemnation?  And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man, has done nothing wrong.”  Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me, when YOU come into Your Kingdom.”  And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to YOU, Today, YOU will be with Me, in Paradise.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage.  For in The Resurrection from The Dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to The Angels of God in Heaven, and are Sons of God, being Sons of The Resurrection.  But concerning The Resurrection of The Dead, have YOU NOT read, what was spoken to YOU, by God, saying, ‘I Am The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and The God of Jacob’?  God is NOT, the God of the dead, but God of The Living, for All Live to Him”

 

But someone will say, “How are The Dead, Raised Up?  And with what body do They come?”  Foolish one, what YOU sow is NOT made Alive, unless it dies.  And what YOU sow, YOU do NOT sow, that body that shall be, but mere grain, perhaps wheat or some other grain.  But God gives it a Body, as He Pleases, and to each seed, its own body.  All flesh is NOT the same flesh, but there is One Kind of Flesh of Men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.  There are also Celestial Bodies and Terrestrial Bodies; but The Glory of The Celestial is One, and The Glory of The Terrestrial is another.  There is one glory of the Sun, another glory of the Moon, and another glory of the Stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.  So also is The Resurrection of The Dead.  The Body is sown in corruption (Natural/Earthly Body), It is Raised in Incorruption (Spiritual Body).  It is sown in dishonor (Natural/Earthly Body), It is Raised in Glory (Spiritual Body).  It is sown in weakness (Natural/Earthly Body), It is Raised in Power (Spiritual Body).  It is sown a Natural Body, It is Raised a Spiritual Body.  There is a Natural Body, and there is a Spiritual Body.  And so it is written, “The First Man, Adam, became a Living Being.”  The last Adam, became a Life-Giving Spirit.  However, The Spiritual is NOT first, but The Natural, and afterward The Spiritual.  The First Man was of the Earth, made of dust; The Second Man, is The Lord from Heaven.  As was the man of dust, so also are those, who are made of dust; and as is The Heavenly Man, so also are those, who are Heavenly.  And as We have borne the image of the man of dust (Natural/Earthly Body), We shall also bear The Image of The Heavenly Man (Spiritual Body).

Now this I say, Brethren, that flesh and blood (Natural/Earthly Body) cannot Inherit The Kingdom of God; nor does corruption (Natural/Earthly Body) inherit Incorruption (Spiritual Body).  Behold, I tell YOU a Mystery: We shall NOT all sleep, but We shall all be Changed (Spiritual Body), in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at The Last Trumpet.  For The Trumpet will sound, and The Dead will be Raised Incorruptible (Spiritual Body), and We shall be Changed (Spiritual Body).  For this, corruptible (Natural/Earthly Body) must put on Incorruption (Spiritual Body), and this mortal (Natural/Earthly Body), must put on Immortality (Spiritual Body).  So, when this corruptible (Natural/Earthly Body), has put on Incorruption (Spiritual Body), and this mortal (Natural/Earthly Body), has put on Immortality (Spiritual Body), then shall be brought to pass, the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in Victory.”  “O Death, where is your sting?  O Hades, where is your victory?”  The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, Who gives Us, The Victory, through Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, My Beloved Brethren, be Steadfast, Immovable, always Abounding in The Work of The Lord, knowing that your labor is NOT in vain, in The Lord.

For We know, that if Our Earthly House (Natural/Earthly Body), this Tent (Natural/Earthly Body), is destroyed, We have a Building (Spiritual Body) from God, a House (Spiritual Body) NOT made with hands, Eternal in The Heavens.  For in this, We groan, earnestly desiring to be Clothed (Spiritual Body) with Our Habitation (Spiritual Body), which is from Heaven, if indeed, having been Clothed (Spiritual Body), We shall NOT be found naked.  For We, who are in this Tent (Natural/Earthly Body) groan, being burdened, NOT because We want to be unclothed, but further Clothed, that mortality (Natural/Earthly Body), may be swallowed up by Life (Spiritual Body).  Now He, Who has Prepared Us, for this very thing (Spiritual Body), is God, who also has given Us, The Spirit as a Guarantee.  So, We are always confident, knowing that while We are at home, in the body (Natural/Earthly Body), We are absent from The Lord.  For We walk by Faith, NOT by sight.  We are confident, yes, well pleased rather, to be absent from the body (Natural/Earthly Body), and to be Present (Spiritual Body) with The Lord.

But I do NOT want YOU to be ignorant, Brethren, concerning those who have Fallen Asleep (those who Sleep in Jesus), lest YOU sorrow, as others, who have no hope.  For if We Believe that Jesus died and Rose Again, even so, God will bring with Him (Jesus Christ), those who Sleep in Jesus.  For this, We say to YOU, by The Word of The Lord (Jesus Christ), that We who are alive and remain, until The Coming of The Lord (Jesus Christ), will by no means precede, those who are Asleep (those who Sleep in Jesus).  For The Lord (Jesus Christ) Himself will Descend from Heaven, with a Shout, with The Voice of an Archangel, and with The Trumpet of God.  And The Dead in Christ (those who Sleep in Jesus), will Rise first.  Then We, who are alive and remain, shall be Caught Up, Together with Them (those who Sleep in Jesus) in The Clouds, to meet The Lord (Jesus Christ) in the air.  And thus, We shall always be with The Lord (Jesus Christ).  Therefore, comfort one another with these words.

Called, Front And Center

When Jesus Speaks to YOU, through The Holy Spirit, YOU listen
Empty your mind, YOU must rid it of thoughts, any distraction
When He begins to lay out, His Plan for YOU, pay attention
If YOU can, write it all down, this way if YOU have a question
Ask it, so YOU can avoid any miscommunication
Jesus will explain all, at your level of comprehension
Though Jesus Speaks in a soft tone, YOU can feel His Urgency
Now it’s time to reveal to YOU, what Jesus has asked of me
Become the Leader, which Jesus has been urging me to be
God Almighty, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, Stand with me
To bring people to acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace
Yes, Satan and his followers, I may confront Face-to-Face
Help them to accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, through Jesus
A gift from God Almighty, which is offered to All of Us
Leading people to Jesus Christ, means letting Him do the rest
I give God The Glory, I’m honored, I’m humbled, and I’m Blessed
Accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, then give your Life to Christ
Seems only fair, for what Christ endured, His Life, He Sacrificed
To one day be, in God’s Immediate Presence, Forever
Through God’s Son, Jesus Christ, The Only Way, The Only Answer
It’s The Power of God to Salvation, for All who Believe
It’s the determination of Satan, to blind and deceive
For Godly sorrow, brings Repentance, leading to Salvation
Preach to All, The Word of Truth, The Gospel of their Salvation
God did NOT appoint Us to Wrath, but to obtain Salvation
Through Our Lord Jesus, who died for Us, I’ll show YOU how it’s done
When YOU accept God’s Gift, The Holy Spirit is sent to YOU
Through The Holy Spirit, Jesus comes to abide within YOU
Then God Almighty will mold and change YOU, from the inside out
YOU are now, a Child of God Almighty, there will be no doubt
You’ll turn away, from your sinful ways, back to God Almighty
And YOU will stumble, less and less, it will NOT take long, you’ll see
I have been tasked with coming forward, to make Jesus’ Point clear
If YOU have NOT accepted Jesus Christ, YOU have much to fear
God has given YOU, plenty of time and opportunity
To read and or hear His Word, to listen to people like me
Now, I’m here to tell YOU, that YOU really should listen to me
I’m NOT selling YOU a thing, but perhaps a last chance, to see
The Lord God Almighty Loves YOU more, than YOU can comprehend
When Our Mortal Bodies cease to function, it’s NOT Our Souls end
Our Souls, Our Spirits, have an Eternal Existence, please see
Where will YOU spend this existence, I’ll explain and YOU will see
In God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, Forever
Or away from God, but with Satan, in The Lake of Fire
This is my mission, to get YOU to stop and listen, to me
The words I speak, aren’t my own, but The Words, Jesus gives to me
I’m NOT talking about a church, or even a religion
But a personal relationship with God Almighty’s Son
God Almighty seeks a personal relationship with YOU
Because God Almighty has Unconditional Love for YOU
The Lord God Almighty, Who Breathed, The Breath of Life, into YOU
By God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace, Jesus died on The Cross for YOU
I wish to provide YOU, with the keys to your Eternity
Whether it’s with God OR Satan, your choice, is NOT up to me
I simply walk the streets, Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Called Front and Center, One of The Lights of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Are YOU Prepared For The Storm That’s Coming



My Brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in The Power of His Might.  Put on The Whole Armor of God, that YOU may be able to stand, against The Wiles of The Devil.  For We do NOT wrestle, against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against Powers, against The Rulers of The Darkness of this Age, against Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness in The Heavenly Places.  Therefore Take Up The Whole Armor of God, that YOU may be able to Withstand, in The Evil Day, and having done all, to Stand.  Stand therefore, having Girded your waist, with Truth, having Put on, The Breastplate of Righteousness, and having Shod your feet, with The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace; above all, Taking The Shield of Faith, with which YOU will be able, to Quench all The Fiery Darts of The Wicked One.  And Take The Helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication, in The Spirit, being Watchful to this end, with all perseverance and supplication, for All The Saints, and for yourself, that utterance may be given to YOU, that YOU may open your mouth boldly, to make known The Mystery of The Gospel, for which YOU are an Ambassador in chains; that in it, YOU may speak boldly, as YOU ought to speak.

We are about to experience, The Darkest Days ever witnessed on this Earth!  Satan and his followers, are going to come at everyone (Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, and Unbelievers), with everything they’ve got, with every lie, with every deception, with every distraction, to draw Us away from God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit!  Why, because Satan knows, without a shadow of a doubt, he has a finite amount of time, to wreak as much havoc as he possibly can, upon this Earth!  Satan knows, he has a finite amount of time, to keep people, from turning to God Almighty!  To keep them, from acknowledging God’s Amazing Saving Grace and accepting God’s Free Gift of Salvation, thereby becoming, Children of God Almighty!  Satan wants to take as many people, as he possibly can, with him and his followers, to a place created by God Almighty, for Satan and his followers (NOT Man), The Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where there shall be endless weeping and gnashing of teeth, Forever, for Eternity!

YOU have heard the expression, “out of sight, out of mind?”  Well, Satan is counting on it.  He is using people, to wipe God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, off of and out of, anything and everything!  Satan is using people, to make what was once bad, now good, and what was once good, now bad, creating a topsy-turvy World.  Satan has successfully used people, already, to kill (Murder) Our Children, before they are even born (Abortion)!  Satan has successfully used people, already, to remove The Holy Bible and prayer, out of Our Children’s schools!  Satan has successfully used people, already, to remove the sanctity of marriage, between one man and one woman, to between two men or two women!  Satan is even using people, to remove identification markers off of people, themselves, to remove personal pronouns like “he” or “she” to “ze”.  Satan has successfully used people, already, to make transgenderism a way of life, even for Our Children!

Satan is destroying everything God Almighty created, and We, People, are helping him do it, and watching him do it, can’t YOU see this?  I pray YOU can see this!  God Almighty, Created Man and Woman!  God Almighty, still Creates Men and Women!  God Almighty defined Marriage (Holy Matrimony), as between One Man and One Woman!  Whereupon, the Two become One, but also to have Offspring, to “be fruitful and multiply!”  This Marriage and subsequent Offspring, form the foundation of the family, which is the foundation of everything else!  Without a man and a woman, there are no children (no Offspring)!  Without a Father and a Mother, there are no Role Models for the Children, and no proper discipline, to raise up, Godly Children!  The Primary function of Parents, is to raise Godly Children, did YOU know that?  Parents, We are to have God Almighty as Our First Priority, in other words, to serve Him first.  In this way, We teach Our Children, to do the very same thing (i.e. raise up Godly Children)!

So, YOU can see, what Satan is doing, what We are witnessing, is the tearing down and destroying, of what God Almighty has Created!  Whether all people wish to admit this or NOT, all of the laws that govern right from wrong, in Our Nation (The United States of America), have their foundation, in God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes.  So, without God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, there is no distinction (no line drawn) between right and wrong, period!  Therefore, when We start allowing laws to be changed, making legal what once was illegal, and making illegal what once was legal, again, We are witnessing the tearing down and destroying, of what God Almighty has Established (the Line He Created)!

Finally, what can We, Believers, do about any of this, YOU ask?  Put on The Whole Armor of God Almighty, right now, Today!  Be, Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Light upon a World, full of darkness.  Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to All who have “Ears to hear and Eyes to see!”  Trust in God Almighty, to deal with Satan and his followers, and with those who choose NOT to put their Faith, in Jesus Christ.  Pray, pray like YOU never have before!  Pray for your family, your friends, your Pastor, your Deacons, your Church family, your neighbors, your city/town, your County, your State, your Country, the World!  Pray for Fellow Believers, that they will also, put on The Whole Armor of God Almighty!  Pray for Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers, that God Almighty will put upon their hearts to have “Ears to ear and Eyes to see.”  Pray for boldness, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that many will come to acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace and accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, becoming Fellow Believers, Children of God Almighty!  Pray, pray, pray, and pray some more.  May Our God Bless YOU, with strength, endurance, and perseverance, in these Dark Days.  Amen.

The Breath Of Life



In The Beginning, God Created the Heavens and the Earth.

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the Earth across The Face of The Firmament of The Heavens.”  So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind.  And God saw that it was Good.  And God Blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the Earth.”  Then God said, “Let the Earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the Earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.  And God made the beast of the Earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the Earth according to its kind.  And God saw that it was Good.

Then God Almighty said, “Let Us make Man (Mankind), in Our Image, according to Our Likeness; let Them (Mankind) have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the Earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the Earth.”  So God Almighty Created Man (Mankind), in His Own Image; in The Image of God Almighty, He Created Him (Mankind); Male and Female He Created Them (Mankind). Then God Blessed Them (Mankind), and God said to Them (Mankind), “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the Earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the Earth.”

And The Lord God formed Man, of the dust of the ground, and Breathed into his nostrils, The Breath of Life; and Man became a Living Being.

Now, YOU may have noticed that God Almighty already existed before The Creation of the Heavens and the Earth.  Also, YOU may have noticed, that God Almighty ONLY Breathed, The Breath of Life, into Man (Mankind).  The Breath of Life is Our Soul/Spirit, every human being has a Soul/Spirit, in other words, ONLY Mankind! 

So, what does having a Soul/Spirit, mean to each of Us?  Well, Our Soul/Spirit lives Forever, for Eternity, meaning yes, it has a beginning, Our Birth, but has no actual end.  Our Mortal Bodies however, have a finite amount of time, and during this brief time, We each have a choice to make, where do We each wish to spend Our time (Eternity), after Our Mortal Bodies cease to function?  Do We wish to spend it, in God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Angels, and The Children of God Almighty OR AWAY from God’s Immediate Presence?  AWAY from God’s Immediate Presence, meaning in a place created for Satan and his followers (NOT Man), where there shall be endless weeping and gnashing of teeth, The Lake of Fire and Brimstone.

The way The Holy Spirit has revealed this to me, God Almighty created Us, in His Image, with the pure intent and purpose, of Us being in His Presence, to walk with Us, and Us to walk with Him. However, sin got in between Us and God Almighty, denying Our True Purpose.  God Almighty being ever so Loving and Merciful, knew He would have to create a possibility, for Us to be able to return, to fulfill Our True Purpose, to walk with Him.  So, The Word took human form, and at His Birth, was given The Name Above All names, Jesus!  Jesus Christ was born, to give His Life, upon The Cross, paying Our sin debt, then God Almighty Raised Jesus Christ, from the grave, Alive, defeating death itself.  So, We could once again have the opportunity, to walk with God Almighty, for Eternity!  By God’s Love and Mercy, by God’s Amazing Saving Grace, God gave Us, His Free Gift of Salvation.  This is a gift of God Almighty, NOT by any works (meaning, it’s nothing We can earn or purchase), We must receive this gift.  In order to receive this gift, We must acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace (i.e. who Jesus Christ is, how He lived, what He taught, why He had to die, that God Almighty raised Him from the grave, Alive, what the totality of this means), and We must accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  By accepting God’s Free Gift of Salvation, We welcome Our Lord Jesus Christ, to take control of Our lives, but also to come and abide within Us, through The Holy Spirit.

So, YOU were created by God Almighty, in God Almighty’s Image, and God Almighty Breathed The Breath of Life, into YOUR NOSTRILS, and YOU became a Living Being, that’s profound, don’t YOU think?  Now, why would God Almighty go through all this, if He did NOT care about YOU?  Why would Our Lord Jesus Christ, take upon Himself, all the sin YOU will ever commit (during your entire Lifetime), if He did NOT care about YOU?  And Jesus would willingly do it all over again, if need be!  This is how much, God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, care about YOU, how much They LOVE YOU, how much They want YOU, to walk with Them, for Eternity!

God Almighty created YOU, so He could have a personal relationship with YOU, right now, Today!  Our Lord Jesus Christ died for YOU, so He could also have a personal relationship with YOU, through The Holy Spirit, right now, Today!

The question for YOU is, what are YOU going to do with this knowledge?  Are YOU going to acknowledge God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit?  Are YOU willing to acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace and willingly accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation?  Are YOU willing to give control of Your Life, over to Jesus Christ, and serve God Almighty, for Eternity?  In other words, are YOU willing to thank God Almighty, for The Breath of Life, He Breathed into YOUR NOSTRILS, by giving control of Your Life, to Jesus Christ, right now, Today?
